I love facts.
Good. The facts include that this dates back to 1993. In his letters to the BLM, Bundy said he would not pay them because he didn’t believe either they or the federal government owned the land.
Could this recent enforcement action be tied to Dingy Harry? Possibly. But the root of the dispute goes back 20 years, and Bundy was very clear about why he stopped paying the BLM.
The problem I have is that someone who claims they are a citizen of Nevada and not a citizen of the USA is NOT someone I want representing conservatives or the Tea Party. This looks like a textbook case in how to discredit the Tea Party movement and conservatives, and promote the idea that conservatives are domestic terrorists.
Someone who fights for the right to be a Nevadan but not an American is not going to resonate with many Americans...
